Employment Eligibility Verification Form (I-9)

In compliance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, every employee who will receive pay is required to complete the I-9 Form, in person, by the first day that his or her employment for pay begins. The form must be accompanied by original documentation to verify the individual’s identity and eligibility to work (list of acceptable documentation attached). Noncompliance with this regulation is a violation of Federal Law.

State and Federal Tax Withholding

Every employee who will receive pay is required to file forms with his/her employer to determine the amount of income tax to be withheld from their pay and to report their hiring to the Department of Workforce Development.

Retiree Break of Service

Effective July 2, 2013, Wisconsin Act 20 required that WRS participants who terminate employment on or after July 2, 2013, wait at least 75 days between terminating WRS covered employment and returning to WRS participating employment. This means to the employee that returning to WRS eligible employment within the 75-day minimum break period will invalidate a retirement annuity or lump sum payment and result in potential fines to the District. This requirement applies to employees returning to work with the previous employer in any capacity (i.e. coaching, hourly supervision, subbing, etc.).
